Wow!! Very well done! I'm not sure how I missed this, but I'm glad that I ran across this tonight. It is easy to see all this transpiring visually as I'm reading it. It's full of emotion and has a happy ending. Always puts a smile on my face when I see something you've written.
Thank you Rocco. When I started writing this chapter, I looked at picture after picture of the falls during winter. Most you could see the water flowing with lots of ice around as I'd expect from all that spray in freezing temps. I did see a few, most likely of the American Falls that seemed to be completely frozen. Given Ethan's propensity towards water and ice, with him visiting the falls in very cold weather I let them a layer of ice completely cover all off the falls with water running below. The freeze could have been from unusually cold weather or more likely from Ethan's excitement of being there right after getting married to Aiden It's fun hearing a comment on this from someone that lived in the area. After writing this, I'd really like to see the falls in person (when it's warm though).
Thank you dughlas. Hunting the best kind of prey The Wolf Moon each January is always my favorite moon of the year. Perfect time to let the beast within out for some fun.
The moon glows bright
Its pull is strong
I hear its call
Now the hunt is on
It guides me through the long cold night
To hunt the prey that’s eluded my bite
My bloodlust finally quenched brings much delight
I cuddle my prey under the Wolf Moons light.
I couldn't agree with you more, tim. I write because I enjoy it (most of the time), but I also want it to be written well so the people I share it with will enjoy it. I do a lot of research sometimes on the smallest item to try and make what I'm writing more authentic. Sometimes the research is just as much fun as the writing. Doesn't matter if it is learning about a location I'm using or some other detail. I learned more about cave formations than I thought I would when that entered into RWTP. The research that you do for your stories may not be known by most of us, but the end result shows in your incredible writing.
This was so worth the wait. Declan's text was perfect even if it did start to upset Bailey. The fact that he followed up the text by showing up at the bus moments later made it all the better. It was great seeing the other students go to support the team at the meet, plus they had a good time watching. I think this might be my favorite chapter so far, but that is a tough call since they are all wonderful.
It made my day seeing something new from you. A great addition to an already great story. I don't care how long it takes between chapters as long as I know there is going to be another chapter
Thank you as always tim I should say thank you for another reason. He jokingly complained for a while about being called a soldier until I muzzled and cuffed him. He was happy to have been called a soldier after that.
Thank you tim Trying to put the emotion of different events into words has been fun while I try to learn this and my boy gives me a lot of inspiration to write. Thankfully it wasn't like he was outing himself at the Ball and he is already accepted by the people he serves with. He did want me to make one correction, and he did say since you're Canadian that you're forgiven, lol. He's not a soldier, but a Marine (they can be touchy about that description)
Thank you jp It's going very good with him. Speaking for myself, I'd say the pride is equal knowing that he's wearing my gift to him. I loved that it was under his uniform as well
Nervousness fills me as our carriage rides along,
Not sure what awaits us at the other end.
Will this be a fairytale come true,
Or the unfolding of a grisly horror story?
As we arrive at the palace for the night,
I feel the carriage pull to a stop before the grand doors.
In proper fashion, the driver stands at attention,
As our group exits and bids him good night.
I take the hand of my fellow prince,
And look up into your adoring eye
Not much I can say that others haven't. The fact that you made the effort shows the wonderful person you are. I can't say that I would have tried if I could, but I know I wouldn't be given the option either. Hugz to you!!
